Here is a pic of how fast I went on the Autobahn in Germany. As fast as I could go in the car I had borrowed.
I wish Jeroen had come thru with his 911 for the trip south.

142 and it was in my 928 over 10 years ago. Early sunday morning running with my buddies 5.0 Mercury Capri. He could whip me on the take off. When he was running out of steam I was building up a full head.

Can't prove it, but drove a 78 911 SC between Phoenix and Yuma Az. at 157. We were traveling with another SC and a big V8 Tbird. The bird really surprised us. We passed a state trooper and he didn't even bother. We may not have been doing a true 157, but that's what the speedo said.

Yeah, it was a pos Opel 1.8 with a jillion km on it but it was a car!
I was being passed right and left on the autobahn by the BMW's and even VW's! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)



I wish I had atleast was driving my 914 as that will cruise a 100mph all day without trouble.

Still the pic looked good until you see its in kph.

I don't think I've had the 914 any higher than about 90, but I did take the 911 up into the 110-120 range a few times.

In a 911, 170mph for prolonged periods heading north from Stuttgart.
In the 914, off the clock - which is 150, but prob actually 135 - 140.
No pix, sorry, but my passenger will confirm the state of his underwear...........

Cool,
IIRC, all the Germany produced cars have a limiter of 250Kph
as a top end.
When I lived there I drove alot of BMW's, Mercedes, and Audi's and it is true, top is 250k.

Once you get used to it, it is normal to drive 100 Mph in the right lane, seems slow after a few months.
My wife drove 100 Mph in the right lane with the Eurovan all the time. If you go any slower, you are creating a problem on a two lane road and it is actually more scary to have cars drive by on your right at 250++ and move your car over from the wind........
Best I did was Zurich to Munich, 1.5 hours me in a BMW 528, a Porsche and a 328 Beemer....white knuckle driving for that long though.....but what a rush....
This is why I got into racing porsches, its the only way to legally do what we could do in Germany.....

Ok, This was coming across the desert in New Mexico and I actually slowed down to take the picture. I was folloing a new Jag and we cruised around 140 for about an hour. Open freeway, radar detector on the dash and no traffic. It was nice. I had just bought the car and was driving it home from Amarillo Texas to Costa Mesa. I left Amarillo at about 6:30 AM and pulled into my driveway in Costa Mesa at 8:15 PM the same day. Average speed was 109 by the computer. What a ride.

I think this counts...in my 30+ years in the film/video business I have shot from every platform there is...most memorable...slow...shooting the Indy 500 from the Goodyear Blimp....the fastest...in a car (not shooting) was in 1987 in an AMG 500HP "Hammer" in Germany...we cruised the Autobahn at 180 ... I was there shooting a film at the AMG design studio...will never forget it....the very fastest was in the backseat of an F4 over Hanoi...filming the bombing missions....wasn't paying too much attention to the speed then...much pucker power going on at that time.

I wish I had had a place to go faster than roads around here.

I did do a flyby on the way home from the NoVA/MD/NC get-together in Richmond on 9/14 though. Had the top off and got a good run and passed the group at 105...it was a hoot I tell ya.

Done 120+ in my daily driver and 105 on my bike once (scary).

I need to hit the track to hit speeds in a safer environment though.

155 indicated on my motorcycle. Pegged the indicator on my 70 Camaro many years ago.
Little over 100 in my 914. No pictures, too busy.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/burnout.gif)

I go 100 every day, I go 120 every week, I go 130 when I can get there, maybe once a month.

Fastest in a teener: 138 indicated (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I have been over 150 a buncha times, depending on what you are in, it feels like 85mph, or 10,000mph.

104 in this car, no pic but you can ask the nice nevada patrol man that let me go with a warning. He was in a z28 and I think he was "Hoping" I would run. I had my camera and thought about asking to take a pic, but though again.

144 with my dad in a c4 vette. Funny the stupid digital dash starts to flash at anything over 120. Like you need a distraction at those speeds (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) GM

sundays nights after i get off work and drive back to sacramento, i've gotten to 120 in the 914, unfortunetly, with highway patrol around even late at night, it isnt for very long, just to see if it could...it actually seems like the 914 runs better at those speeds, just proof they are made for speed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Back in 1977 my first 914(`72 1.7 stock) got a ticket for doing 101 mph in a 50 zone but I was slowing down to take a corner. The 101 was as high as the radar would go or so the officer told me.

150? HAHA, dude, my old beetle did 160 km/h no problem.

what car did you have? what were you doing in the left lane doing 150?
slow cars are supposed to stay in the right lanes! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
